==History== The Circassians arrived in the Middle East after they were pushed out of their homeland in the North Caucasus as the result of the Circassian genocide. The Circassians, who fought during the long period wherein the Russians captured the northern Caucasus, were massacred and expelled by Tsarist Russia from the North-Western Caucasus mountains. The Ottoman Empire absorbed them in their territory, and settled them in sparsely populated areas, including the Galilee in Beirut Vilayet (Ottoman Syria).
